I use the little tubes too, but that's a very tidy arrangement
What's the pouch meant for ?

7.62x51 by the look of it.

It's a bullet case. It needed a couple of sewing mods though to work properly.

I thought Jack Pyke did fishing kit

I shove all my specimen tubes full of herbs and spices in a sylnylon bag and although this option adds a lot of bulk, the OCD bit of me really likes the organisation.

 

[ateallthepies]

Before this I had glass vials in a small nylon bag but ended up with a couple smashed. Not sure if plastic tubes are as good at sealing in the flavour though?

 

[Harvestman]

Excellent work. I like to keep a couple of sweet spices too, like cinnamon or nutmeg for adding to bannock or pancakes, and also cocoa powder. They can also be added to coffee as a warming treat.

I change mine out pretty frequently, and haven't noticed any degradation.

The only one that needs care is nutmeg...it literally destroys the plastic :yikes:

I buy the tubes in bulk from cheaplabstuff on ebay.

One of the Scots also works in a lab and at the end of a research the remaining unused consumables are disposed of. He rescues them brings them along to meet ups and we get a selection Makes colour coding easy

I do bead weaving and they look exactly like the vials we use to hold fine beads in. Same with the poutch.

These are the vials, the narrowest I could find with a decent capacity, a lot wider than 7.62 rounds! 111037046132

I like this idea. A LOT!

I have been using 1 dram (1/8 fluid ounce) glass vials with phenolic caps. Although the glass is heavier, I did not want to keep my food in plastic if I had other options.

My plan was to craft a leather case with loops, very similar to what ateallthepies shows. But I have been lazy and have yet to make the case.

One difference from the case in the original post is that I planned to make a single "band" across the interior instead of sewing loops for individual vials.

I'm the Scot with access to the tubes! Old unused stock that is for disposal.. If anyone wants any, let me know by pm.. they are usually between 3-5mls volume, occasionally larger.

Only 1mm wider . The case is 12mm wide as opposed to 13 for your vials

Ah yes forgot about the bullets brass size!

That 1mm makes quite a difference. I could not get 8 vials in a row without the case bending like a banana so had to cut the middle two loops and sew them back into one loop. This took the pressure off and they lay flat now.

 

[Toddy]

In that case, the laboratory tubes (which come sterile and have really well fitting waterproof caps) might be a better fit.
If this interminable rain ever goes off I'll nip out and measure some.
